- "Now you can say you've met the most talented bard in all of Skyrim."
- ―Pantea Ateia[src]
Pantea Ateia is the Imperial Master Vocalist at the Bards College, in Solitude.
Background[]
She has performed many times for the late High King Torygg at the Blue Palace. She also has been touring the courts around Skyrim, performing to the Jarls, but the rebellion has caused her to cancel her tour.
She cannot stand most of her students, as she believes they are wasting her time. She also says that only Aia Arria shows true potential.
If not at the college, Pantea can also be found performing at the Winking Skeever, substituting for the normal bard, Lisette, while she's there.

Dialogue[]
Pantea's Flute[]
"That damn fool! I should ring her neck!"
- Who's neck is that? "Larina. That fool student of mine stole my flute and sold it to some necromancer. I just got a ransom note for it. That flute has been handed down for seventeen generations! Well don't just stand there. Go get my flute!"
- Why would a necromancer want your flute? "Apparently Larina told him some story about the flute being able to make the dead dance. It's just a flute. A really old and valuable flute, but just a flute."
(After finding the flute:
I recovered your flute. "That's it! Wonderful! I knew I could count on you. I don't have any money to give you. but I can show you a few tricks I learned playing in the Winterhold wizards."
Bound Until Death[]
"If you want my opinion, I think they should have paid for an entire quartet. Plenty of bards at the College would have loved the opportunity."
- Having a good time? "I am, thank you. I do so enjoy singing at weddings. It's just one of the many duties we at the Bards College are called upon to perform."
Conversations[]
Aia Arria[]
Pantea: "You there, have you performed your voice exercises today?" Aia: "Always! Perfection takes dedication, after all!" Pantea: "Yes, well, see that you keep at it. That is all."
Pantea: "Your performance has been excellent lately Aia. You still need training but one day you will make an adequate singer." Aia: "Yes, Dean. Thank you."
Jorn[]
Pantea: "You there, have you performed your voice exercises today?" Jorn: "Yes, Lady Ateia. My voice is strong as a Dragonborn's!" Pantea: "Yes, well, see that you keep at it. That is all."
Illdi[]
Pantea: "You there, have you performed your voice exercises today?" Illdi: Yes, madam. I know I have a lot to work on." Pantea: "Yes, well, see that you keep at it. That is all."
Viarmo[]
Viarmo: "How are your students coming along?" Pantea: "Passably. Aia is my star pupil; none of the others can hold a candle to her, especially not that wretched Illdi." Viarmo: "Try not to play favorites, Lady Ateia. It does a disservice to the whole class." Pantea: "Yes, Headmaster."
